AYUSH Minister Prataprao Jadhav today said that Yoga is not merely a lifestyle practice but a powerful discipline that promotes mental clarity, physical health and emotional balance. Mr Jadhav was addressing the Yoga Mahotsav 2026 in New Delhi, marking the hundred-day countdown to the 12th edition of the International Day of Yoga (IDY) 2026. On the occasion, the Minister launched ten Yoga Protocols for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and Target Groups, designed for individuals across different age groups and health conditions. Launching the protocols, the Minister said these protocols are designed for people across different age groups and life stages, enabling them to take greater responsibility for their health, enhance physical and mental resilience, and improve overall quality of life. During the event, Mr Jadhav also launched the Yoga for Air Travel protocol, a specially designed five-minute routine of seated yogic practices, breathing exercises and brief meditation. As part of the 100-Day Countdown to IDY 2026, the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga exchanged a Memorandum of Understanding with Habuild under the Yoga 365 campaign to offer free daily online Yoga sessions.
